Ersin Er commented on DIRSERVER-679:
------------------------------------
BTW, in my experience some best practives for creating and testing patches are as follows:
* Create a patch from command line or IDE, but be sure you do it with relative paths.
* svn checkout a complete new code repo.
* Apply the patch to the new downloaded code base.
* Build the patched code and run all unit and integration tests.
HTH.

> Project: Directory ApacheDS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: tools
> Affects Versions: 1.0-RC3
> Reporter: Pierre-Arnaud Marcelot
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: documentation.pdf, new-patch.txt, patch.txt

> Working on a new plugin supporting LDIF Import/Export for LDAP Studio ( http://docs.safehaus.org/display/LDAPSTUDIO
), I wanted to use the Apache DS to import an LDIF file.
> But the Import Command can only be accessed via a Command Line and don't give enough
feedback for a front-end GUI (particularly to show the progress of the operation).
> Emmanuel (Lécharny) also pointed out the fact that it may be interesting for future
developments to be able to access the Tools in a "kind of" Client/Server way. The tools running
on a the server's station, and the command launched from another machine.
> So, he asked me to modify the tools to add this Client/Server feature and make them callable
more easily from other application and give better feedback.
> I made a small documentation on this on Safehaus : http://docs.safehaus.org/display/LDAPSTUDIO/Apache+DS+Tools+rewrite
. It is also attached to this post as a PDF, since LDAPStudio's Confluence isn't accessible
to everyone.
> In the patch you'll find the tools with the new architecture (defined with Emmanuel).
> I also added a new command that export entries as LDIF file, and some JUnit tests for
the Import, Export and GracefulShutdown command.
> Feel free to give me your feedback about this.
